«Con maletas de cartón» is Chema Castiello's essay on Spanish emigration in film, published by Gakoa Liburuak in paperback (157 pages).
It analyses how cinema has represented Spanish emigration from the 19th century to the last third of the 20th. It reviews more than twenty films in their economic, political, social and cultural context to reconstruct archetypes of that emigration, such as the exile, the yokel and the maid. It also compiles this filmography for the first time.
The volume, published in 2010 in the Sareak collection, includes bibliographical references (pages 153-157).
A book for readers interested in the social history of Spain and in cinema as a testimony to emigration.
